About Dano Brooks

I am Sami first nations, which are the indigenous peoples from the very north of Norway, Sweden, Finland, & the Kola peninsula of Russia; commonly known as reindeer herders. I live in Canada. I spea...k French and English fluently, and choppy but communicable Spanish, I also speak a little Northern Sami though only really basic stuff. I love living off the land, but sustain-ably. I am interested in permaculture and have been a part of a few small permaculture practicing communities. In the months when the temperature doesn't drop below zero every night I'm generally found sleeping in a tent or simply wrapped in a tarp, sometimes even just laying by a fire. I am a fairly seasoned traveler, I have been to 11 countries and lived in 5 of them. I love traveling on a budget, even when I have money I generally want to avoid spending it. I don't like doing touristy things, I almost always just want to live like the locals as much as possible. I apprenticed as a luthier when I was younger, and no, that's not a church thing. Lutherie is the art of stringed instrument construction and repair. From guitars to violins to electric bases and harps. That's what I did. Mostly working in repairing said instruments, but I did actually build myself an acoustic guitar from scratch using my own original design, as well as building a baritone ukulele. I'm also a musician of sorts, I play a few instruments and sing songs which I have written in various places around the world. My music is soft and rough at the same time if that makes any sense. Every song is a lullaby whether you realize it or not. One of the traditional forms of singing for the Sami people is called a joik (pronounced Yo-ick) it has no words, only favoured syllables following a melody, I also do this from time to time. show more
